Where AI and Industry Expertise Converge

Tensor Garden combines deep domain knowledge in insurance, legal, accounting, and professional services with advanced AI expertise to deliver transformative automation solutions.

Our Story

Tensor Garden was founded by two partners who identified a pattern across service-based industries: while technology companies were rapidly adopting AI, insurance agencies, law firms, accounting practices, and professional service providers were being left behind with manual processes and outdated systems.
Our journey began in insurance. We recognized that agencies and MGAs face unique challenges requiring specialized AI solutions—not generic automation tools. Our founders combined their insurance operations expertise with AI development skills to create custom solutions that actually understood the industry.
The breakthrough came when we realized the same challenges exist across professional services: document processing, data entry, client communications, compliance tracking, and workflow bottlenecks. The insurance expertise we developed became a blueprint for solving problems in legal, accounting, healthcare, and property management.
Today, Tensor Garden serves insurance agencies, law firms, accounting practices, healthcare providers, and specialized service businesses. We bring industry-specific expertise to every engagement—we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you’re processing insurance policies, managing legal documents, closing month-end books, or handling patient records, we take time to understand your unique workflows before building automation.
We believe AI should be accessible to businesses of all sizes, not just the largest enterprises.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver AI solutions that empower service-based businesses to thrive in an increasingly digital world. We are committed to:
  • Delivering practical AI solutions with clear ROI across insurance, legal, accounting, and professional services
  • Making advanced automation accessible to businesses of all sizes, from independent agencies to enterprise firms
  • Building technology that complements human expertise rather than replacing it
  • Understanding industry-specific challenges before proposing solutions
  • Providing exceptional service and support throughout the implementation process
We measure our success by the tangible results we deliver: time saved, errors reduced, and growth enabled for our clients.a

Why Choose Tensor Garden

What sets us apart from other technology providers

Battle-Tested Expertise, Not Just Technical Skills

Our founders bring decades of combined experience across business operations, enterprise IT infrastructure, and AI development. Ashish has hands-on insurance operations background and codes alongside clients. Antonio is a U.S. Air Force veteran with proven expertise in secure network administration, achieving 80% reductions in security incidents while managing enterprise systems.

This isn’t theoretical knowledge—we’ve worked inside the industries we serve. We understand compliance requirements, data security protocols, business metrics that matter, and how to build systems that meet enterprise-grade reliability standards. When we implement AI for your business, we’re thinking about ROI, security vulnerabilities, disaster recovery, and operational continuity—not just whether the code runs.

Many AI consultants can build a chatbot. Few have the business operations experience to know which processes to automate first, or the security expertise to handle sensitive client data properly. We bring both sides: the technical capability to build sophisticated AI systems and the professional judgment to build them correctly.

Our Vision for the Future

WHERE WE SEE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES HEADING WITH AI

We envision a future where professional service firms leverage AI not just for operational efficiency, but as a competitive advantage that enables them to deliver exceptional client experiences while maintaining the human expertise that defines their industry.

Our goal is to help businesses embrace this future by providing the tools, industry-specific expertise, and support they need to successfully adopt AI in ways that complement their existing strengths rather than replace what makes them valuable.

As professional services continue to evolve, Tensor Garden will remain at the forefront of innovation, continuously developing new solutions that address emerging challenges and opportunities while keeping our focus on practical, measurable results.
